Daylight's Valley of the Moon Contact with Ferguson
Daylight visits Ferguson in Sonoma Valley where the ex editor reveals he fled city life for a self built cabin, irrigated orchard plots and books. Ferguson traces illness and downfall to overwork and drinking, while Daylight contemplates negotiations in San Francisco and his fading vigor.
Daylight Encounters Content Pioneer On California Trail
Daylight rides through a sunlit canyon and meets an eighty four year old pioneer with a milk pail who recalls crossing plains with an ox team and fighting Indians in 1851. The veteran prefers solitude in the valley, content with life since 1854 as one of the first settlers after the Spaniards. Daylight is inspired by the old man yet chooses not to imitate leaving for San Francisco.
